STAR WARS Episode VII- The Bringing of the Balance
PROLOGUE
A flash of red led me up to this point. Taking up my weapon once more I tried endlessly to fend off the never-ending flashes of red. All that ever seemed to come was the endless slashes and stabs from my opponent, swinging endlessly at my body, trying to catch me off guard and strike. I knew my opponent too well, well I didn't know the opponent, but I knew the type :- drop your defence or let your guard down just the smallest bit, and he would strike with no mercy, letting your blood seep onto the floor as you fell. My weapon was the standard Jedi light-sabre with a twist; it had just been cut in two. Watching the weapon fall was like saying goodbye to an old friend. Mind you, it doesn't take you two years to build a friend. Two years, and it had been erased from existence in just under two seconds. The end was coming and I knew it. My opponent was already moving fast towards me, his sabre pointing menacingly at my throat like a vicious wamp rat hoping to get a quick bite.
I knew I had to do something, and quick. So I did the only thing I could do. I opened my mind as I called on the force. God, Yoda's always saying how you need to open your mind and keep your head clear of all thoughts when trying to summon the force, well believe me it isn't that easy when there's a six foot interpretation of the grim reaper with a light sabre coming at you, except without the whole skeleton idea, and that's exactly how it felt like, death coming for me. Trying yet again I blanked my mind and put all of my thoughts to silence and let the force gather inside of me until I had gathered enough energy to do whatever I could to put a few inches between me and my attacker. A few inches... or a few metres! Two and two clicked into place and I knew what I had to.
I outstretched my arm and let the energy flow. I never did get used to the surge of energy entering and leaving your body within a matter of seconds, the power that builds and then releases. I never thought of the power I had at my disposal, and what I could use it for. My opponent was thrown back, crashing his spine off of a wall at such speed human bones were not meant to withstand, the blood was beginning to seep out as he stood up. He stood up! Looking at the blood, his blood a sudden flash of anger appeared in his eyes. I knew he was coming for my blood now. You know what they say: - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I sank back to the ground, I knew it was helpless. He was already advancing towards me, sabre in hand. It was then, standing over me he began to swing his blade towards me, on basic instinct I rolled out the way like a dog trying to move away when you try to hit it. Luckily for me he missed, seeing a break in his defence I swept him off of his feet and he came crashing to the ground. Surprise was written all over his face as I snatched the sabre from him as he fell, falling like some sort of animal snarling in pain. "Well I suppose this really should be me forgiving and forgetting but today I think I'll make an exception!" I told him this summoning the courage in my voice, but it was like a splash of water on a boulder with the effect it gave. Kicking me backwards he reached into the depths of his black cloak to reveal a double sided lighted sabre. Does this never end! I thought to myself as I ignited his sabre. It felt heavier than my own, and it was red, but apart from that it was a bit like my old one.
My attacker decided to attack first with a clean strike going right toward my face. Blocking his attack I tried to parry and slash but the attacker was clearly more experienced than I hoped he would be. Trying to defend two sabres with one light sabre was proving more difficult than I thought it would be. He managed to smash my light sabre to the side and found a weak spot in my defence. Calling on the force I jumped. High above, I saw him slashing into thin air. I gulped, that could have been me! On landing I slashed at his lower torso, but he blocked effortlessly, and spun round to face me. That was a flaw he would never make again. Whilst trying to stare me out I managed to extend my left leg and kick him in the stomach. He fell back, but not enough for my liking. Standing up he glared at me with those eyes. Those piercing red eyes. Red! They weren't meant to be like that. Trying to focus I advanced towards him trying to look brave, and courageous, but it didn't work. On walking towards him I left a weak spot in my defence, and he used it. He pounced like a snake, with his sabre he slashed straight into the left hand side of my torso. The pain was unbearable. Seeping through my body like water seeping into a cloth. I fell to the ground with screams of pain and looked down at the blood, the blood. My blood! The ground around me was covered in my blood, it was as if someone was trying to clean the floor with blood, and I was the mop! With my last ounce of strength I stood up. God knows how I managed to but hey, people say Jedi' can do anything.
Gathering my strength I made a shot at his chest, but surprise, surprise he blocked. One thing changed however. We began to lock sabres. I tried forcing him down but my strength failed me. He pushed me to the ground as if I were a rag-doll. I knew it was pointless trying to get up. The pain was too much and my strength had already failed me. I just lay back hoping that it would end soon. It grew colder as the darkness engulfed me.
You know when people say, that when you're lying there about to die that your whole life flashes right before your eyes... it's true...
Don't worry, all will be revealed in chapter one, well not everything, but you know what I mean. Please read and review this, pleeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee. But please don't burn me alive with flames 'cause this is my first fic, but that doesn't mean I don't want advice!
Mad Manic says: - please read and review, and Chibi Linky You'd better give me a review and if you don't, just remember 'I know where you live!'
